“How much is the condo fee?” is one of the first questions from anyone thinking of living in Alphaville Brasília. This guide explains what the costs are, how each one is charged and the discounts for those who pay on time.
Condo fee
In Alphaville Brasília, the condo fee is the community’s association fee:
- it is calculated per square meter of the lot;
- the clubhouse and the activities are included in the fee, with no separate charge;
- those who pay by the due date get a 10% discount;
- after the house’s occupancy permit (habite-se), there is an extra 10% discount.
Residents do not pay an Associação Geral apportionment fee, and there is no project approval fee for those who are going to build.
To find out the exact amount for a lot, talk to a specialist: since the fee is per m², the amount depends on the size of the lot you choose.
IPTU
IPTU (the property tax) is charged by the Cidade Ocidental (GO) city hall, once a year, and has a 30% discount for those who pay by the due date. At the time of purchase, the ITBI (property transfer tax) of 2.4% applies, in addition to the deed and registration at the competent property registry office. When buying a lot from the developer, these closing costs can be paid in up to 5 interest-free credit card installments, directly with the developer.
Water, sewage and power
Metering is individual: each house pays for its own consumption. Water and sewage are provided by Saneago and power by Equatorial.
